Automatic conversion between .ps to .pdf upon download onto Mac OSX?

Is there any way to convert .ps to .pdf every time automatically as a .ps is downloaded onto a Mac machine? (Using Mountain Lion 10.8)

  • can Automator perform this task?
  • convert and then delete the .ps

It's annoying that it has to convert from .ps to .pdf in preview every time I open the file, and quick preview doesn't work on .ps.


Solution 1:

You could use the Folder Action for that.

Right click on to your download folder

select Folder Action Set up:

Choose Covert PostScript to pdf action.

done

If you feel like modifying the script go ahead.
